Traditional Classroom Content is delivered by a professor
What does it mean to “Flip?” Students receive content via the internet, in the form of podcasts, YouTube videos, and/or other online resources Students use their computers or mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) to access the content
The Flipped Classroom IS: Combination of direct instruction and constructivist learning Environment that may enhance student responsibility Opportunity to use more time for discussion and clarification Facility for students to access content multiple times
The Flipped Classroom is NOT Replacing an instructor with Online Videos& Tutorials
